Ben Witherington: Rob Bell’s Nooma Videos 1-5

Recently, Ben Witherington has written a few posts about Rob Bell (here and here). Now, Witherington turns his critical eye to Bell’s highly acclaimed NOOMA videos, reviewing the first 5.

NOOMA is a short film project featuring Bell:

It’s short films with communicators that really speak to us.
Compact, portable, and concise. Each NOOMA touches on
issues that we care about, that we want to talk about,
and it comes in a way that fits our world.
It’s a format that’s there for us when we need it,
as we need it, how we need it. (source: NOOMA.com)

I’ve heard some interesting things about these videos. I’ll be trying to get my hands on them in the next week or two so that I can write some about them. I have just finished reading Bell’s Velvet Elvis, and I hope to pick up a copy of Sex God soon.
